Meet Your Guide... ✨
Hello, I’m Ann English - Visual Strategist,TEDx Speaker, Author and creator of VisualDoodles™
For years, I’ve used simple lines, shapes, symbols and marks to help people make their ideas visible, memorable and easier to communicate.
And there’s something I hear again and again...
“But I can’t draw.”
That’s exactly why I created VisualDoodle™ FUNdamentals - to show you that communicating visually isn’t about artistic talent or creating perfect pictures.
If you can write... you can VisualDoodle™. ✍️
During the Creative Day Retreat I'll guide you one simple line at a time, giving you the confidence, tools and permission to discover your own visual language.

How It All Started💡
In my TEDx Talk, The Clarity Quest: Imagine a World Without BUT..., I used my VisualDoodles™ to help bring my ideas to life.
But I didn't always think I could draw either...
In fact, I used to think my doodles were rubbish - until I realised they didn't need to be works of art. Their purpose was to get an idea out of my head and into someone else's by communicating it visually.
In my talk, I share my own journey of overcoming self-doubt, recognising that we are ALL creative, and discovering what can happen when we stop letting our inner critic get in the way.
It's part of the story behind why I now believe...
If you can write... you can VisualDoodle™. ✍️
